i wonder what it's like
to be small
to look up at the world
and feel its weight
to stand up straight
and still be below
everyone else
at your side.
i want it.
i want that feeling
of inferiority
because it could drown
my own thoughts
on the subject.
a different aspect
to view my friends,
a different way
they'd view me.
i could be weaker
i could be sadder
i could be bigger
inside
because i'd feel like
i could.
but i'm tall
and since i could talk
i've known i'm the one that gives,
not takes.
it might sound stupid
but sometimes a little stupid
is what you want for your mind.
